Seems I am always subconsciously trying to squeeze extra rum into things. Some may say, "White grape juice? No thanks. I'll stick to Vic's." My response? White grape juice of the kind used by large juice companies in mixed fruit beverages is for all intents and purposes flavorless sugar water. And further still, it beats the corn syrup, artificial color, and artificial flavor that makes up most brands of passion syrup. Beyond that I simply say try it. Make a batch. It will cost little more than an afternoon of your time, and if you can taste grape flavor in the finished product.. ..then you have such a refined palate that you might consider becoming a sommelier.
